The weekend had its ups and downs. Emily didn't sleep well Friday night and was quite cranky when I got to the hospital Saturday morning. While I was cleaning up our breakfast dishes, Emily went and found her tech and convinced her she needed to use the bathroom. Two minutes later I walk out of the gym to see lights flasing and another tech going into the bathroom. When I open the door, I find Emily and her tech on the floor. She spent the rest of the day with her right foot elevated while her nurse and I watched closely for any signs the surgical areas had been hurt in the fall. Ultimately the foot/ankle were fine, but she had a very stiff back and sore shoulder. The next person who suggests I don't need to be at the hospital all of the time may get an ear full. Late Saturday we moved Emily to another, quieter room, and she slept better and was in a much better mood on Sunday.

She spent the day at home with grandma and grandpa Sunday. She even went with us to walk the dogs (close to a 2 mile walk). We had a nice day and a delicious dinner thanks to our friend JoAnn.

Emily had a good day of classes today. She needed a lot of cueing in Speech this morning to remember what she'd done at home yesterday, but by this afternoon she was spontaneously remembering very detailed stuff. She had a PT/OT Co-Treat this morning, and Laura and Robyn had her doing some nice standing and weight-bearing on both her right leg and her right hand/arm. Robyn was doing some movement exercises with her right arm and she was engaging her deltoid and doing a lot of the up and down movement with her right arm on her own. She did ask me today if she'd had Botox in her right hand. When I said "yes," she asked why it wasn't working. I think she's getting pretty frustrated with it. She did more coming from a sit to a stand work in PT this afternoon and then finished the day with her weekly massage.

Her friend Julie came by to visit late this afternoon and they were enjoying "Avatar" on dvd when I left. Emily is always so happy when her friends visit. All-in-all not a bad day.
